The some 550,000 members of the Fédération de l’âge d’or du Québec (now Réseau FADOQ) recently had a remarkably well-made and useful application.

FADOQ

We first took good note of the difficulty of navigating through the thousand discounts offered to members of the organization aged 50 and over: geolocation now makes it possible to do this effectively. You can also virtually store your membership card there, avoiding the printing of a plastic card, which “allows the Réseau FADOQ to reduce its ecological footprint, explains by email Christian Labarre-Dufresne, communications advisor. Thousands of members have already made this choice”. You can also renew your subscription directly in this simple app with clean graphics.

Triangle Strategy

We can deplore the tiresome length of the ubiquitous dialogues, but we must recognize that Triangle Strategy is a brilliantly knitted game in the very particular style of “tactical RPG”.

As we sometimes say of a film or a song of which we don’t really know what to think, the video game Triangle Strategy, for Nintendo Switch, “it’s a genre”, with very pixelated graphics inspired by the 1980s. But the world of Triangle Strategy quickly turns out to be much richer than the classic arcade game: this is what is called a “tactical RPG”, where you have to move your allies like a game of chess in the fights. We can deplore the tiresome length of the ubiquitous dialogues, but we must recognize that Triangle Strategy is a brilliantly knitted game in this very particular style.

Sadako Rising


IMAGE PROVIDED BY BEHAVIOR INTERACTIVE

For expansion Sadako Rising who added himself this week to his game Dead by Daylight, the Quebec studio Behavior has received, exceptionally, carte blanche from the Japanese owners of the franchise.

If you have seen the movie Tea Ring (Ringu in Japanese), released in 1998, it probably left its mark on you. A horror film that announces the death of its viewers within seven days is twisted. The Quebec studio Behavior has made it an extension of its popular game Dead by Daylight, Sadako Rising, launched this week. It personifies Sadako Yamamura, who came out of her well to get revenge, and Yoichi, the only survivor of the story, an 8-year-old boy who we find as an adult. Exceptionally, for this legendary franchise in Japan, the Kadokawa company gave carte blanche to the Quebec studio. The slayer Sadako was thus given nightmarish abilities, capable of disappearing and coming out of televisions.
